About Face

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

Trends change every year, every season, heck even every week with our fast paced lives! Nothing ever truly stays constant except for my love for everything beauty related! Mode Media recently released its 2nd annual top 100 beauty awards, with categories such as most colorful beauty products, expert picks for luxurious locks, top tools of the trade, and supreme skin care products and treatments. We all have our methods of tried and true products, but it's quite nice to compare what we do to the things that are top rated, it helps me to tweak things in my routine and maybe this list will do the same for you! 

The top 100 of 2015's beauty awards are curated by a slew of industry experts, beauty influencers and editors. Many tests were taken to approve a product's sustainability among the crowd, carefully selecting products from top brands in 25 different categories from mascara, facial masks, nail care, fragrances, lipsticks, makeup brushes and tons more. Not a bad test to take! As beauty goes beyond an obsession today, the Glam beauty awards have a priority in our calendars to become a major highlight. With 100+ products out every year, it's difficult to learn what is going to deliver results or outlast the rest, this finely curated list serves as a go- to guide for what's hot and what's not. 

My favorite category of the top beauty awards is the Guide to Supreme Skincare. As you may already know, I love to take very good care of my skin, creams, serums, moisturizers, toners, you name it and I've probably got it! This list helps me figure out what I should change in my regimen and also gives me ideas for what I should try next. From this list, I'm quite excited to try out some of the products mentioned like Dr. Jart's Ceramidin Gel Cream and Tata Harpers's Soothing Muscle Gel.

Check out the list of the best of the best when it comes to beauty, the top 100! I've always been a beauty junky, and I love checking out the trends and progresses in the beauty industry as a learning tool to help me put a fresh face forward. Let's welcome 2016 with the best of the best! Dear readers, have you seen the list yet? What are your thoughts on the products and tools chosen?
